Whether beats if here because if needs a conditional clause and there is no such condition here.

D & E are out

In A & B, their seems to refer to either animals or tourists even though we know that tourists do not have horns.

C avoids that ambiguity.

Right.
Also C maintains the parallelism by using present perfect 'have been' unlike A & B.
